these were the following grand officers: Paul

and Philip Mitchell, grand inside guard, of

was the presentation to Paul Gebhard of a

absence of the president, Charles Blues, the

The popularity of cycling is growing.
Thomas Stevens, who has just been around
the globe on wheel, says that the best roads
in the world are found in British India. The
Grand Trunk road is sixteen hundred miles,
an unbroken highway of marvellous perfeo-
ton from Pershawar, on the Afghan from
tier, to Calcutta. It is made of smooth,
hard, natural concrete, beds of which lie
along the line.
How such roads would be appreciated by
the enthusiastic 'cyclers of this countryl
The wonderful achievement of Mr.. Ste
vens, in the face of myriad dangers, entities
him to all his honors.
The fast riding champion of the world,
however, is Richard Howell, of Leicester,
England. He is splendidly made fellow,
between twenty-five and thirty years of age,
six feet high and weighing in training about
one hundred and sixty pounds.
He commenced riding in 1879, and in 1881
at Belgrayia grounds, Leicester, he won the
one-mile championship of the world, beating
all the best men of the day.
From that time his career has been one of
almost unbroken successes. He came to the
United States in 1884 and 1886, and at the
great Springfield tournament in 1885 won
seven out of eight races.
In the Cycling News (Eng.) October 1st
1887, is the following interview with him:
"What are your best performances?'
''This year did a full mile on the track al
Coventry in two minutes and thirty-five sec,
onds. Good judges think with everything il
my favor could do 2:30 for the distance"
"What is your system of trainiug?"
81 eat plain, good food and plenty of it.
I take a little walk before breakfast, and
then after that meal, if I am Doggy, ride
eight or nine miles on the track here in thick
hannels. After dinner I do some more
'slogging' work, and may be walk and ear
ly to bed
"But there is one idea of mine which ]
have found invaluable If have done too
much, or my system is out of order, or if !
don't feel quite sound, I take what I have
used since I was queer in 1888. have al
ways found that Warmers safe cure sets me
up and puts me to rights again, and it is q
remedy which believe in and tell all my
friends about.
"1n the winter time especially, when you
can easily understand am not SO careful of
my health as in the spring, summer or au-
tumn, 1 have found it invaluable.
All want to beat the fastest bicyclist in

dose of my favorite and my machine"
"When am about right in weight I con-
tent myself with short, sharp bursts as hard
as ever can go on the track, and when 1
can cover four hundred and forty yards in
thirty seconds with flying start reckon to
be moving as well as want to.
Bicycling is glorious sport, but it has its
physical i'll effects, which, however, can be
easily overcome by the method used by
